Dundee sniffing about Christian Doidge, surprised Hibs are letting him go. I'd be happy to see him here but can't see them wanting to strengthen our line-up when we're in close proximity.

I thought our game with Aberdeen would have been a shoo-in to be on the BBC, prob hoping to catch a potential upset. Nice to see Premier Sports keeping it fresh with the Old Firm ties. Hopefully we see a bumper crowd for this all things considered.

The opening game of the season was really exciting despite the final score, this fixture on the other hand was horrendous to say the least. The weather was obviously a massive hindrance to the proceedings and I think come half time you felt a 0-0 would be on the cards, even when Donnelly was sent off I didn't feel Hibs threatened at all. The tackle for the sending off happened right in front of me, I actually felt like Donnelly won the ball and it appeared that the Hibs player went to ground via his own momentum when he tried to kick it and Donnelly blocked it, in saying that it was a silly decision by Donnelly to fly into a challenge when he was on a yellow, it would be interesting to see that incident again but don't think I can stomach the highlights. Newell had 6 fouls and never merited a talking too. Van Veen should have buried his chance in the first half. In recent months I have enjoyed limiting the likes of Hearts and Hibs to heehaw chances at Fir Park. Anyway it'll be interesting to see where we are come Monday evening in regards to the team.

Went for McGinley, I thought this was one of his best games for us. A few times in the first half he covered well in defence, rare seeing him over the POD side in the first half. He was unfortunate in the second half as he nicked the ball off of the Hibs player just outside the box in a great position but the ref gave a soft free kick as per. Apart from the first few seconds of the game, I thought the defence as a whole had a solid game.

A new centre back/right back. Stacked in defence now, I wonder if Lamie is oot for a while. Apparently can play in midfield.

Hibs have added former Hearts winger Demetri Mitchell to their squad. I can't say I remember much of his spell at Tynecastle other than being a pacy winger. The Hibees looked devoid of creativity versus Cove in the Scottish Cup, we both limped throught without being great. So based on absolutely nothing at all I think we are going to pump them 3-0, Van Veen (x2) and Donnelly with another tae bender, one of those glorious nights under the lights where everything clicks.

The game was well before my time tbh but was this fixture not the catalyst for Alex Ferguson having a real destain for us? I'm sure he didn't take the loss well, I think it even got a brief mention in his autobiography.

He also shat out of a challenge at one point, quite disappointing as you would have thought as previously being a defender he would have fancied a meaty challenge. Not quite Vigurs pirouette but he seemed to be more comfy getting the ball turned onto his stronger foot and finding McGinley down the left when better options were available.

Fair enough, I just can't remember that guy being impressive all to often when he played us and I'm generally one to give oppostion players the credit they deserve. Getting hooked at half time, scoring an OG, giving a way a pen are few of his highlights off the top of my head while playing against us, I can imagine him being dominant in the air against Campbell if not much else. As Kmcalpin pointed out, I do remember that 2019/20 fixture well, I would argue however it was more Hamilton as a unit that bossed us in general in the second half of that game, we had played really well in the first and got the lead early and we eventually paid the price for not taking our chances. Should the guy sign he will get my full support in a 'Well jersey but I'm hoping he isn't really on our list of targets.

Did he not play more or less as a centre back for Accies before moving into a midfield role with Hibs? Generally my memory of Campbell in these games was that he was generally always one that got pass marks outwith last season of course. In derby games you tend to notice the passengers when all is not going well for instance in a New Year fixture in December 2017 we were winning 1-0 cruising, Campbell was playing great and he got injured and taken off just before half time and we lost 1-3. While Hamilton did beat us a numerous times, Gogic always seemed to be a player we got some joy from as he was quite erratic, the Scott McMann own goal game Gogic had a stinker and not to mention the game where Hastie, Turnbull and Ariyibi had them on toast and we were 3-0 up after 30 odd minutes and he was hooked at half time as he couldn't cope. Just looking at the head to head record when the players actually played against each other in the matchday squad, Gogic didn't come out on top often at all, they met in 8 fixtures where Campbell won 5, Gogic 2 (one being the tie above where Campbell went off injured at 1-0 up) and one draw.

Ticket purchased for this. Glad we're all getting the chance to go back to see the footy live. Potential banana skin this, as the poster above stated, they got off to a flyer under Dougie Imrie in a season where they have been very poor and the fact they have been playing the last few weeks keeps that match sharpness, I remember us being rotten in a Scottish Cup game against County after the break a few seasons back and hope we don't replicate a performance like that. Tough tie but I think we'll do enough to progress. Does anyone know if we're following the FA cup rules in regards to replays? Is it just a one off fixture that goes to ET and pens if necessary?

Stephen Robinson is also interested in taking him to Morecambe but I had also seen the Daily Ranger mentioned a trio of Scottish clubs including us were interested. I was never a fan tbh, always seemed to stoat about the pitch like a headless chicken in the Lanarkshire derbies.

May - Ciftci - Kane what a strikeforce.

FT 1-0.

2 mins added on. Bet that would have been 5 if they weren't winning.

Roberts on for Woolery

Shields and Donnelly on for Slattery and Van Veen

I think Woolery has improved massively as of late but one thing about him thats frustating is that he has had many delicious balls pinged to him which he miscontrols, the one a short time ago would have been a great chance if he managed to control it.

We have enjoyed a few good spells, frustrating to go in at HT a goal down, I actually thought the free kick for the goal was quite soft, springs back then falls forward defing physics. Not getting much from the ref as per. Hopefully get off to positive start in the second half rather than them getting that killer second which is obv the norm. Making the most of the black kit the last month or so.

1-0 Sellick

Great save by Kelly from a deflected Turnbull shot.

According to the Daily Express, an English League One side is interested in Lamie. Sounds like a potential pre contract move could be on the cards opposed to a small fee should anything come to pass.

While I agree that today has been utterly rotten I am certain the guy will not be under any pressure at all, disappointed at the result obviously but we are currently 5th . If we beat United midweek that would be 9 points from 12 that are available from Novmeber fixtures.

I think we had been unbeaten in ten league games against them before today, decent record tbf.

3-0
